Economy of Georgia

Located between Europe and Asia on a historical “Silk Road”, the economy of Georgia is highly integrated with international markets.

Gross Domestic Product

Georgia has diversified GDP structure which is well-positioned for sustainable growth. Due to the devaluation of GEL to USD, the total GDP pointed in USD shows a drop in 2015 but actually GDP real growth rate in 2015 was 2.8%. The GDP compound annual growth rate of last 5 years from 2010 to 2015 reached 4.9 % and Georgia is widely expected to maintain steady growth for the years to come.

Public Debt

The public debt performance of Georgia is favorable, with debt ratios in steady decline since 2003. 79% of public debt in 2015 was external and it was dominated by bilateral and multilateral debt. The reason behind the increase of public debt in previous year is the depreciation of Georgian Lari to foreign currencies in 2015.

For 2018, the inflation target of the National Bank of Georgia will decrease to its long-run level of 3%.
